This page lists the properties and relations that have been agreed* to be used to annotate research objects and/or its aggregated resources. Although some of them are (still?) not part of the RO model, this list will enable the interoperability between myExperiment and RODL ( and with other tools), so that annotations created in one tool are used and interpreted in the same way in the other, avoiding duplicate efforts from the users. This table is based on the annotation mapping discussion wiki page and the latest discussions in Poznan plenary. The properties/classes in blue are the suggested additions to our vocabularies.

Predefined resource types

The implementation that is invoked when running the wfdesc:Process, like a wf4ever:Script or wf4ever:WebService.
The process specifies the implementation using wfdesc:hasImplementation.

An artifact is a data value or item which wfprov:wasOutputFrom of a wfprov:ProcessRun or that the process run used as input (wfprov:usedInput). Such an artifact might also be a ro:Resource if it has been aggregated in the ro:ResearchObject (typically if the artifact was used or generated by a wfprov:WorkflowRun) - but this might always not be the case for intermediate values from wfprov:ProcessRun.

A file wfprov:Artifact that was used or generated by a wfprov:WorkflowRun.

wfprov:WorkflowRun

Workflow Run

A workflow run is a process run which has been enacted by a workflow engine, according to a workflow definition. Such a process typically contains several subprocesses corresponding to process descriptions.

roterms:Sketch

Sketch

A graphical representation of an experiment/investigation

roterms:Hypothesis

Hypothesis

A supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation

roterms:ResearchQuestion

Research Question

The methodological point of departure of scholarly research in both the natural and social sciences. It determines (i) where and what kind of research the writer will be looking for and (ii) the specific objectives the study or paper will address

roterms:Conclusion

Conclusion

A proposition reached from given premises

roterms:Result

Result

An item of information obtained by experiment or some other scientific method; a quantity or formula obtained by calculation

roterms:ExampleRun(subclass of wfprov:WorkflowRun)

Example Workflow Run

A workflow run that serves as an example of how to use this workflow. Example runs typically take only a small subset of inputs and have short execution time.

roterms:ProspectiveRun(subclass of wfprov:WorkflowRun)

Prospective Workflow Run

A workflow run that is ready to start executing, e.g. all workflow inputs and configuration options have been provided, but no outputs are available yet.

roterms:ResultGenerationRun(subclass of wfprov:WorkflowRun)

Results Generating Workflow Run

A workflow run that generated scientific results. Such workflow runs typically take complete data sets as inputs and may take longer to execute.

dct:BibliographicResource

Bibliographic Resource

A book, article, or other documentary resource.

roterms:Paper

Paper

A bibliographic resource about an experiment/investigation (to be replaced by dct:BibliographicResource)
